Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
- You are planning cytoreductive surgery and a second surgery after chemotherapy
- Your scans suggest cancer involving the rectum/sigmoid area that needs removal (or similar involvement) and your cancer stage is IIIB or higher
- You are age 18 or older and can care for yourself at a moderate level (ECOG 0–2)
- You have not had this low anterior rectal surgery before and you do not have a colostomy

This observational study follows people with rectal cancer who get radiation (with or without chemotherapy) before surgery. It aims to understand how these treatments affect quality of life after surgery.
This study checks how people feel over time (their quality of life) after treatment for rectal cancer, including different surgery plans or non-surgery treatment. It may help doctors understand which approach leads to better day-to-day well-being.
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
This trial tests whether a full course of chemotherapy and radiation before any surgery (called total neoadjuvant therapy) can help you avoid surgery and preserve your rectum. It is for people with a specific early stage of rectal cancer that has not spread.
This study looks at how older people feel and function after robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support quality of life during recovery.
This trial studies how surgical treatment for rectal cancer affects patients’ quality of life and other day-to-day impacts. It may help doctors understand what to expect after surgery and how to better support patients.
